Doc Holliday Casino was a nice little building at the mountain not far from the heart of main street. I never understood what this strange name suggests but things were not so strange here.

That was when Earp disarmed Tyler, grabbed him by the ear and threw him out—while Doc Holliday kept Tyler’s friends at bay with a pistol. Tyler left town a couple of months later as the Earp faction controlled gambling in Tombstone.
